<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u><em>The First Transcontinental Railroad was a 1,912-mile continuous railroad line constructed between 1863 and 1869 that connected the existing eastern U.S. rail network at Council Bluffs, Iowa with the Pacific coast at the Oakland Long Wharf on San Francisco Bay. The rail line was built by three private companies over public lands provided by extensive US land grants. Construction was financed by both state and US government subsidy bonds as well as by company issued mortgage bonds. The Western Pacific Railroad Company built 132 mi of track from the road's western terminus at Alameda/Oakland to Sacramento, California. The Central Pacific Railroad Company of California constructed 690 mi eastward from Sacramento to Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. The Union Pacific Railroad built 1,085 mi from the road's eastern terminus at the Missouri River settlements of Council Bluffs and Omaha, Nebraska westward to Promontory Summit.</em></u>

After the disastrous (for the Japanese) results of the Battle of Layte Gulf, the Japanese navy was destroyed. What remained as a
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. Kamikazes, and the Japanese army.

Explanation:

The Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place between October 23 and 26, 1944, was a maritime battle between the United States and Japan in the framework of World War II. During this battle the navies of both nations faced each other, triumphing the American navy, which practically destroyed its adversary and neutralized the dominance of Japan in the waters of the Pacific.

Now, despite the fact that the Japanese navy no longer had effective possibilities of causing problems for the Americans, the truth is that even so an invasion by land of Japan was seen as a complicated undertaking. This because the Japanese had begun to use their famous kamikazes, pilots who crashed their planes against their targets causing high damage, as well as due to the ferocity of their combatants in the army, who fought until destruction, either their own or the enemy's, avoiding surrender.
